Fitness-For-Service (FFS)
assessment procedures that
can be used to
evaluate pressurized
components containing flaws
General Fitness-For-Service assessment procedure:
S6. Remediation
S8. Documentation
Brittle Fracture loss of ductility of metals at low temperature,
leading to membrane failures (> 55 MPa)
Level 1 CET (Critical Exposure Temperature operation,
transients, etc) equal to or greater than the MAT (Minimum
Allowable Temperature toughness)
Level 2 Adjusting MAT based on temperature reduction
allowances
Level 3 detailed determinations of stress (FEA), flaw size
(fracture mechanics), and material toughness
General/Localized Metal loss resulting from corrosion,
erosion, or both corrosion and erosion; assessment is based on a
thickness averaging approach; can be used to qualify a component
for continued operation or for rerating
